Fire Emblem Heroes update announced (version 7.5.0), patch notes

Posted on May 2, 2023 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have announced the next update for Fire Emblem Heroes, version 7.5.0. It should be going live around May 8 (PT).

The update will add Seer’s Snare, new skills for a Legendary Hero and Mythic Hero, and more.

Below are the full patch notes for the Fire Emblem Heroes version 7.5.0 update:

■ A new event, Seer’s Snare, is coming!
A new event where you make your way across the Timeless Rift, Seer’s Snare, is about to begin. With time itself as your ally, try to return to your original world through the distortion of space-time!
Seer’s Snare is an event in which you press ahead through various diverging branches of time while strengthening your allies. You can use event-specific stamina to move forward, while choosing from the various paths.
There are a total of four different kinds of areas in this world: Normal Battles, Boss Battles, Vanir Seals, and Safe Havens. When you proceed into a battle area, there will be a battle! At first, your allies’ A, B, and C skills and Sacred Seals will be sealed. Also, there are unique color advantage differences.
You can obtain skills and Rift Vessels as Battle Rewards for clearing areas. Rift Vessels are items that can be used in Vanir Seal areas. They can be exchanged for desired skills or used to unlock sealed skills.
Many skills can be equipped in this world thanks to the power of time. Equip your allies with skills you’ve obtained and engage in Boss Battles.
If you get stuck partway through, activate Unwind Time from the event’s main page. You can either return to the beginning or return to just after the last sub-boss you defeated. Your consumed stamina will return accordingly.
By playing once each day, you can earn rewards like Orbs and Dragonflowers! Also, each time you reach a new point in the Timeless Rift, you can earn rewards such as Orbs, Dragonflowers, and Divine Codes.
Note: You will only receive the reward for arriving at a location for the first time. Even if you use Unwind Time and choose another path, you will not be able to receive the reward again.
In Seer’s Snare, there are two bonus titles set for each event. Heroes from bonus titles will have their stats increased, and also, in addition to expanded skill slots, they will get a free skill slot that can be equipped with A, B, or C Skills!
The first bonus titles are Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem.
The event is scheduled to be held for the first time starting 5/14/2023 12:00 p.m.(PT) More details and gameplay tips will be included in notifications leading up to the event.
You can see a small preview of this event in action in the recently released Feh Channel (Apr. 20, 2023) video. We even touch on things like formation tips and unique color affinities. We hope you take a look!
